Infertility Awareness Week

Today a couple is arguing because the romance and spontaneity of intimacy has been replaced with strategic and scheduled intercourse. Today a women is running late to a meeting but the weight of her 10th straight negative pregnancy test forces her to take a “bathroom break” to regroup. Today a husband is unsure how to support a wife suffering from depression after a stillbirth. Today a woman will hear from her doctor that she has lost another baby. Today a couple is crushed by the news that their adoption has fallen through. Today a woman will blow out birthday candles with a huge void in her heart.

This week is Infertility Awareness Week. It is important to raise awareness about infertility and the variety of complications and situations couples run into. Let’s get honest people. Infertility is hard. Really, really, hard! Remember, 1 in 8 couples have trouble getting pregnant. That means you likely have a friend who could use a few resources. So I created a list for R2M readers to check out. I tried to include a variety so everyone who visits this page can find something that speaks to their heart. Now’s your chance to support those facing infertility!
